Matt Gaetz is an asshole. Before you protest that I'm unfair, just consider the fact that the Florida congressman managed to be the ONLY no vote against a human trafficking bill, because "mission creep." Ironically, Matt is known for his own creep missions…

The hearings into November's absentee ballot fraud fucktangle in North Carolina's Ninth District have taken a turn into gripping family drama. The Godfather maybe, or The Lion King. All we know is it got NUTS.…

Andrew McCabe's book keeps giving us delicious scoops about WTF it was really like to be in the US government during the Trump transition and the early days of President Foreign Agent's failed presidency. The New York Times also gave us delicious scoops in its…

A US Coast Guard lieutenant who served in the service's Washington DC headquarters has been arrested and accused of domestic terrorism after law enforcement nabbed him Friday on gun and narcotics charges. A court document filed Tuesday says the initial charges…

Thanks a whole fucking lot, Jussie Smollett. Because one anecdote speaks louder than a thousand data points, the Empire actor's faked attack will now drown out the very real explosion of hate crimes in the Trump era. There were 7,100 such attacks in 2017 -- a…

This week has been full of scandals and corruption and general terribleness, so let's take a break and look at something GOOD. It is Kamala Harris, the Democratic 2020 nominee for president of the United States, unless somebody else beats her, in which case…

The Washington Post reports the Trump administration is on the verge of forming a panel to reconsider the Pentagon and Intelligence community assessment that climate change poses a serious concern for national security. The idea that climate is a national…

WHOA THERE, it is a #HotScoop about something happening that portends the wrapping up of the Robert Mueller investigation, one that we can actually believe to a point, because of how CNN seems to have some receipts for its story. (Unlike what we always hear…

Aimee Maddonna, of Simpsonville, South Carolina, is a nice lady who wanted to take in some foster children and give them a nice home, with her, her husband and their children. Her father had been in the foster care system himself, and her parents had always…

You really have to feel sorry for poor Eric Trump, who has been having a crappy couple of weeks (fact check: you do not). Last week he and his idiot brother dropped plans to develop two new hotel chains, because the media and Democrats RUINED EVERYTHING. And…

Freedom of the press is a pain in the ass for public officials and celebrities, because the damn liars in the media keep saying things that make them look bad. But in US America, we have this nice thing called the First Amendment, which was handed to George…

The South just can't quit their memorials to racist traitors. They regularly pitch a fit if black folks try to take down a statue honoring people who fought and died to keep us slaves. Now someone from the heritage and totally not hate crowd has proposed…

In a move that has media watchers scratching their heads, CNN has hired Sarah Isgur, a Republican political consultant who served as Jeff Sessions's official spokesperson, as a political editor for the network. Isgur (formerly Isgur-Flores) has no journalism…

Donald Trump will soon have to start actively working to keep a job he never should've had in the first place. He'll need to refresh himself on policies and articulate an agenda that is preferable to more Americans than his likely Democratic opponent's…

Elizabeth Warren rolled out a very solid plan for universal childcare today, and we're impressed. Looks like Democrats are going to have a serious debate about family, work, and how the two should fit together, which as plenty of advocates have noted, they…

"CNN Tonight With Don Lemon" hosted a town hall Monday for presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar, and it was evident that the Minnesota Senator is going after the moderate vote. Moderates do still exist in the Democratic Party, even if they don't get as much…
